@jekillen: "I'm working to get named running as a master server on my Mac OSX 
Panther installation and I'm getting system.log entries that report 
file rndc.key not found, and in fact there isn't one in the location 
specified. My questions are: What is it, why is it necessary, and how 
do I obtain it?
Thank you to who ever answers my query

rndc is a utility used to control a nameserver daemon, and rndc.key is 
where the key that is used to encrypt rndc communications is expected to 
be found. If you don't care to use rndc, then you can disable that 
functionality by specifying "controls { };" in your named.conf. 
Otherwise, read the docs and see how to set up rndc properly.
